Or stop drinking coffee. Its hardly the world’s most ecological (or often ethical) product

Burn the heretic.

Burn the heretic.

Remember to carry out the ashes though.

oh come on surely ash is good for the soil? Don't tell me all those forest fires I've been lighting haven't been a positive thing for the soil???

walking back from town today watched some women using the litter bin to dispose of her dog crap.

Will depend on local authority, but up here there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I’ve not seen that many campsites with green waste bins (which is weird, now I think about it).

Some Local Authorities collect it, others treat everything from a business as 'commercial waste' and don't segregate it, as I understand it.

I'm curious, where else would you prefer she put it? If she took it home it would end up in the same waste stream.

If its an argument about a bin man having to empty it by hand, the red bins get emptied the exact same way.

@tjagain - how about using those coffee bags rather than ground coffee?
They'd be easier to stick in a bag after use and take home?

Those coffee bags are individually foil wrapped and are made of plastic. Not sure they are a more environmentally friendly option. They don't make a decent brew either.

No way I am using coffee bags. Reduce. reuse. recycle. Coffee bags fail at the first of those

Why not just suggest instant coffee, so that there are no grounds? :p

The humanity!

But yeah, less kit to lug about as well. No press/pot and no grinder (if you're not grinding them fresh then frankly you're all talk).

Bags aren't completely plastic but if you compost them you are left with little husks that need filtered out.

The coffee press attachment to my jetboil adds 8g, Of course I carry ground coffee - weighs less with all the air in it!

coffee bags are so 70s anyway
